During my previous trip to China, I almost had Chinese beer daily during lunch and dinner. The beer is not strong, around 2% alcohol but it makes a refreshing beverages after a tired day. Though compared to other most established beers like Tiger, Carlsberg, Heineken and etc; it definitely not as good but the low amount of alcohol means I could drink more without much effect of the alcohol.
Well, after a long day at work as well as my workout, I came across a small eatery opened by Mainland chinese. I decided to patronise it and seeing that they sold some of the beers from China, I thought it's a good idea to order a bottle. It's been awhile since I tasted the Chinese beers!! Thus, I order a Harbin beer together with a Braised Beef La mian. It was a great dinner though I am bloated after finishing the bottle. LOL

I'm ok with beef but beer will bring about a gout attack, Tiger! Dunno if this one will do the same or not, but no, thank you. I will not try. I do not take painkillers so an attack would mean a week-long suffering.
ReplyDeleteYou too! Have a great week ahead, cheers!!!
DeleteUh... try not to drink so much then. I guess a glass is ok or maybe a small glass of red wine?
DeleteBeef la mian. Sure look good. You finished the broth too?
ReplyDeleteNever seen this China beer before. Over here we have the other brand, more common. Tsing Tao. Something like that.
Yeah, I also seldom see this beer in SG though I tried it in China. I guess it's one of the common beer there.
DeleteCannot finish the broth la..hahaha
I would enjoy the beef la mien. The alcohol content is very low, got kick ah? hee..hee...
ReplyDeleteaiya..no need the kick la. Just a cold and refreshing beer will do. hahahha...
DeleteMentioning about Mainland chinese, makes me think of my favourite 饺子 , hehe...
ReplyDeleteeh... no chinese leh else I gotta use Google translate again!!
DeleteOK, You miss the dumplings! yeah, I love it too!
What a good idea to try their beers since the alcohol is so low. I have been visiting China but never tried their beers there. Come November, I will be off to Silk Road Part 2 and think of you when I see beers! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteAlamak... you been there so many times and never tried their beer ? You must be a good boy or is it under the restriction from your wife? hahaha.. Anyway, alcohol contents not high ... just try it.
DeleteWow..Silk Road! I love to go there too!
I had to pause for few minutes to ask myself why I never drank beer in China?? I would drink beer and sake in Japan...always! Now I concluded that the lousy eating ambiance and probably the cold winters in China made me think of hot tea instead.
DeleteYeah, I understand you. I also had lots of hot tea during my last trip. It's just that they left the bottles of beer on the table which I cannot resist to drink it ! Hahah
DeleteI always cannot understand why people find beer nice to drink, I always find beer or alcohol very bitter and a bit sourish too, does not know how to appreciate :P
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week ahead!
DeleteInitially, I also don't like but after trying a few more, it's acceptable to me. Drink it chill! Anyway, I can't drink a lot la..
DeleteI like stout, haha.. Maybe coz I like Malta, so I like the malt taste, and stout got that kinda taste.. But I can't finish the whole can though.. Ooohh beef la mian, I like..
ReplyDeleteI like Malta too but it make me feel very full!
Delete2% alcohol, you say? That's really good - the ones which I can find are all at least 5% (Moscato) all the way to 14.5% (Chardonnay and the red wines). =)
ReplyDeleteThe beef la mien looks tasty, btw.
Most of the beer sold here are 4-5%. Some light ones may contains 3%. Not easy to find these beers.
